The bus didn’t stop for a break

The price of the ticket online at 12Go is close to the price at the ticket counter. But you have to pay extra 2 RM per ticket to print boarding pass. Because the PDF file that your receive from 12Go doesn't allow you to check in. The bus was late for 40 minutes from the schedule time. It made us worry a little bit. But, except this everything was ok.

The booking was easy and checkin was straight forward but we were not dropped at KL Sentral. Instead dropped at a different bus stop15minutes away from Sentral. The bus driver ushered everyone off the bus and told us another bus would pick us up, it did not. We ended up getting a taxi to sentral. Not had this issue before (using 12go) and think it was the bus operator.

Bus didn't go all the way to the destination. I had to board a small minivan to go last leg into town.

Bus arrived over an hour late. Air condition was extremely cold, driver didn't turn it off and we got very sick from the ride.

The bus was over an hour late. We wasted time on our trip because the bus was late. We sat in the front seats (seat 2 and 3), the driver was smoking while driving with the window open. The smoke from the cigarette was coming into the bus and we had to sit through 3 hours of the smell. Very bad experience.
